There ain't no samurai, there are few geisha, Japanese are not the most polite people in the world. In practice, there is no special love or care for nature, nor is Japan uniquely unique. Sorry, but the sugar-coated fantasyland-Japan of Edwin O. Reischauer et al does not exist--if it ever did.

As I continue to turn more Japanese than the Japanese, like the drunken charactor in the Last Samurai,I will post some of my observations in the style of Shonagon-san. A few days ago, I wrote about hwat I had observed over the preious week entitled: Things That Are Disgusting. Today I will again write about what I have observed over the past week entitled:

Things Kind and Polite

Uhhh. Let me think. This is Japan, so this should be easy. Ummm. Let's see.....I'll get back to you on this if I see anything.
